Evolution of PubNub and jQTouch in Software Industry

This page interacts with multiple devices, triggering an Orientation Event that initiates a push notification publish(). When one device alters its Orientation, all devices with the opposing Orientation experience a colorful shift to magenta! This feature is now available on various devices, not just iPhones.

What is PubNub?

PubNub is more than just a bridge between the browser and mobile. It enables communication from Mobile to Mobile, Browser to Browser, and Mobile to Browser. PubNub has evolved over the years to become a comprehensive real-time data streaming and messaging platform with a simple API. It is now widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT), real-time analytics, collaboration tools, and live dashboards. Its primary functions include Publish() & Subscribe(), along with a range of other features such as Presence, Storage & Playback, and Stream Controller.

How does PubNub work with modern technologies?

PubNub's versatility allows it to integrate with various contemporary libraries and frameworks. As an example, let's consider an Orientation Event. When this event is triggered, a Publish() push notification sends the Orientation Delta. Any device that is listening will receive this Orientation Delta and check if its own Orientation matches. This real-time interaction, initially demonstrated with jQTouch, can be implemented with many of today's popular libraries.

The Orientation Event, a once novel feature of jQTouch, can now be handled by just a few lines of JavaScript, thanks to advancements in modern libraries and the robust functionality provided by PubNub.

What's New with PubNub?

PubNub has seen significant evolution over the years. One of the key features introduced is PubNub Functions, a serverless environment for executing functions on PubNub's network. This feature is a significant part of the platform and has been instrumental in enhancing the efficiency of real-time data processing.

Another exciting development is the EON project, an open-source JavaScript framework for building beautiful, real-time IoT dashboards using PubNub.

To ensure you're taking full advantage of PubNub's current features, we encourage you to check out the latest version of PubNub and its comprehensive documentation and Software Development Kits (SDKs).

PubNub continues to innovate in the realm of real-time data streaming and messaging, offering high throughput, low latency, and extensive scalability. As we navigate through the evolution of the software industry and mobile app communication, PubNub remains at the forefront, providing robust, real-time services for web and application development.
